I had one die in Feb of 2015--did not know he had it. But I am a little afraid to put everyone together From: Lorrie <felineres...@frontier.com> To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2015 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Feline Leukemia How Contagious? I have wondered exactly the same thing. I've had two FelV+ cats with my other 8 neg. cats for over 5 years. They neg. cats were vaccinated only once, and none have ever gotten sick. Of the 2 FelV + cats, one lived to the age of 7 and suddenly died with no prior illness. The other 7 year old cat (her sister) is still fine. One of my vets told me it was very difficult for a grown cat to get FelV, but a kitten born with it from a positive mother almost always dies.
I had a litter of 4 pos. kittens and all of them died during the first year of their lives. It was terribly heart breaking.

The rest of the cats are healthy. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
